New Brunswick has announced how it will respond to U.S. tariffs set to be imposed on Canadian imports starting Tuesday.

Premier Susan Holt has directed NB Liquor to stop buying American alcohol and to remove their products from the shelves.

“NB Liquor sells $40 million worth of American alcohol products in our stores,” Holt said in a news release on Monday.

The government will also stop signing deals with United States companies, except for critical services that cannot be immediately replaced.

Provincial departments will finalize, in line with federal support, programs to support workers and entrepreneurs, with more details to be announced soon.

New Brunswick will also review internal trade barriers to strengthen the Canadian economy in collaboration with federal, provincial and territorial governments.

“My number one priority is to protect New Brunswick workers and businesses,” said Holt. “It’s more important than ever to build up our economy.”

More to come.
